Job Type: Fulltime
Background
During the Covid 19 pandemic, especially in the peak of the Covid case in June-middle of August 2021, Indonesia experienced upsurged demand for medical oxygen. It was estimated that the oxygen need was more than 2500 tons/day, whereas the regular/normal capacity was only 400 tons/day. The maximum production scale for medical oxygen was only 1700 tons/day. This situation had made a significant gap in oxygen demand in a very short term. Consequently, the need for oxygen distribution also increased, and there was a lack of transportation mode, including insufficient filling station capacity to cope with the increased demand. Health facilities also experienced problems with a limited number of oxygen cylinders. These factors had created slow access to get medical oxygen. There is a need to reassess the actual distribution capacity, supply chain system, and mitigation plan to overcome the oxygen problem in the near future.
This project aims to assess medical oxygen to obtain three main results, covering; a) recent situational analysis in oxygen demand & distribution with detailed identification of problems in production, supply chain system, and market landscape of medical oxygen, comprehensive understanding of the need and gaps of O2 in selected HFs in the selected area with high burden covid cases & come up with potential technical solution and policy recommendation to address the above problems, b) developed forecast and plan provision of optimal medical O2 in coping up with a surge of covid cases and c) availability of mitigation planning based on the evidence-based situation.
